This morning the PM said world leaders must be ambitious and bold at #Cop26 and 3 hours later the Chancellor announced a tax cut that will make domestic flights cheaper. Tells you all you need to know about this government's commitment to tackling climate change.

Tomorrow the United Families & Friends Campaign (UFFC) march from Trafalgar Square to Downing Street demanding justice for 1798 souls taken in police custody. Join them from 12pm. Marcia Rigg describes one of those souls, her brother Sean Rigg, to me in this interview.

I admit I can’t fathom the logic. Why on earth wouldn’t we support more investment in kinship care? … the human cost and the financial cost of not doing so seems so blatantly obvious … I don’t get it … I really don’t get it - someone, please, help me understand …

Beautiful and also painful research presentation from Zoe Thomas Adult Care Services #FestivalOfPractice Looking after skin and hair for Black people is more than grooming; it’s attending to history and culture!

Analysis by children's charities shows cuts to early intervention are making children's services increasingly an overstretched blue light service. It's like having a NHS made up of A&E units only - no primary care or public health. Dangerous, costly & irresponsible

Awful typos!! God knows what this means for social work under the review…these unfair and unrealistic narratives will spin right into it

Gentle reminder: take your Vitamin D supplements!

Beautiful video

Love this

Whilst you’re looking into it, can you find out why children were referred to as ‘underage women?’

Now that Ghislaine Maxwell has been found guilty of selling children for sexual abuse, don’t you think we should investigate whom she sold the children to? I don’t want to hear another word about how tragic her life is, only want to hear about the devastation caused to victims

A lot of victims are being retraumatised by Media’s focus on the convicted sex offender, allowing people to speak highly of her, undermine the trial process and thereby attack the credibility of her victims Victim Blaming It will prevent victims from reporting Stop excusing her
